A sweet novella featuring a hero who has loved the heroine for years, but never made a move because of the class difference between them (she's an earl's widow and he's a steward, or something like that) and because she's the widow of his best friend. Turns out she started to suspect he had feelings for her a few months ago and that opened her eyes to her own feelings for him. It all comes to a head over the Christmas holiday, when they confront their feelings for one another. It's a short novella; there's not even a conflict, just their going back and forth on how much to confess about their feelings for one another.
